If my calculations are correct. My truck will get pushed tonight. I've got an 8/28 ETA and what I've commonly seen is that the orders are getting pushed 1 month 2 days before the ETA (Thanks to those using my email tracking, I'm crowdsourcing the data). Being that it's not been built yet. There's no way it's making it to Florida in 2 days.

Myfordpass activations get almost immediately bounced out (Not denied, errored in ~2 minutes) which I think means the truck isn't actually built/online.
I dont think the option to activate showed up in my Ford App until after the build date. Mine was "denied by the primary user in the truck" several days ago. I tried to activate it again the next day and its still waiting to be accepted in the cab on the main display.

I have decided that I need to reset my expectations. I needed to order this truck for my taxes and did not really NEED it until the end of the year. I have to put it "into service" by Dec 31st. I was starting to panic early summer because I had a friend who ordered in Jan and did not have his truck in June. I placed my order on June 23rd fully expecting 6 months. When I got my VIN and order number a few days later I really thought Ford figured things out. I am going to try and step back from my mid-September date and just wait....This checking 5 (who am I kidding 15) times a day is getting unhealthy.

I hear ya. Even with the email checker thingy that buddy made, I am still checking too many time a day. I am sure our IT dept is wondering why I am going to the trackers so many times a day...but what the boss doesn't know, can't get me fired. LOL

Funny. Had the exact same thought today. Need to step back and restore my patience. You know Ford would prefer to push all these out ASAP to keep those sales numbers high. They are doing the best they can on the prod side, all things given.

Same here. I don't "need" the truck until I haul my boat at the end of October, and even then I can rent like I've been doing. But seeing everything progressing smoothly had me hoping for a better experience than many had.

Was just thinking this morning that I'm going to forget about the truck for awhile and quit obsessively checking all the trackers. To no surprise, I have not been able to put this new game plan into effect yet...lol

Thoughts and prayers, brother! Stay strong, however, you are welcome to fall off the wagon and join me! Lol

Yall I'm still pretty sure this is a big factor in all of this. Stay strong though, we'll have our awesome trucks soon enough.. I hope.


Update: my truck has only made it to river, IL since Monday on the train. Not exactly moving quickly
While that might be affecting some, my truck has been built and ready to ship for 22 days now. Both my dealer and Ford chat say it's not missing anything and it's ready to go, so something else is causing my holdup. No clue what it is...

My best guess would be that the thousands and thousands of trucks they built and parked for months while awaiting chips are getting priority, which is fair as most of those had earlier order dates and have been waiting in limbo for months

It’s was a nice thought to just relax and let it be a nice surprise when something finally happens, but my middle aged inner child just doesn’t have the discipline and patience to follow through with it. I’m at least 15 tracker checks deep already today ?

Anyone take a look at trade values lately? They seems to be steady dropping :(
I checked my F-150 today on KBB just for fun. It said private party value was $66,000!!! I paid $53900 for it yesterday. Maybe I should flip it! Lol.

Says my 2019 is worth $62k CDN, I listed it for $58k and didn't even get inquiries. It's worth it to trade it in for $56,500 that the dealer is giving me trade, because if I list it any less than $58k it's not worth my hassle to list on FB and Kijiji and deal with all the doorknobs on there and getting all the lowballs.

I'm on day 18, built but won't ship. It's driving me crazy.

At least you have built trucks! Can't even get my May order built yet.

I’m with you. Mine is built, traveled by rail from Dearborn with the last scan being the the Markham Yard terminal in the Hazel Creat, IL area (south of Chichgo). I’m only 2.5 hours from there and I’m on day 10 on the waiting side for further movement. I was advised by FP the next scan would be when convoy delivers it to the dealership. Tracking reflects 9/15-9/21 ETA. Almost 30 days after it arrived in the Yard (as mentioned, only a 2.5 hour drive from my dealer and me).
